I7E -Work Loam, I2 to 26 Percent Slopes <br />This soil has the same characteristics as the previous soil, except that it is found on steeper <br />slopes. The soil developed in interbedded sandstone and shale and is found on upland <br />benches and sideslopes. The average annual precipitation ranges from 16 to 18 inches, the <br />average annual soil temperature is 43°F to 46°F, and [he frost-free season is 75 to 95 days. <br />Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas of Burnette and Regent soils. <br />Typically the surface layer is a grayish brown loam about 7 inches thick. The upper part of <br />the subsoil is a brown heavy clay loam about 22 inches thick. The soil is calcareous below <br />about 47 inches. <br />Permeability is moderate. The available water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 <br />inches or more. Surface runoff is medium and the erosion hazard is moderate from wind and <br />high from water. <br />Most of this mapping unit is native range and used for grazing. Present and potential <br />productivity of this soil is good. <br />19E Camps ass Fine Sandv Loam, 12 to 25 Percent Slopes <br />This is a deep, well drained soil that occurs throughout the permit area. Only the surface soil <br />of this series is acceptable for reclamation purposes. The usefulness of the subsurface soil is <br />limited by its high clay content. It developed in interbedded sandstone and shale and is on <br />upland valley sideslopes. The average annual precipitation ranges from 15 to 18 inches, the <br />average annual soil temperature is 42°F to 47°F, and the frost-free season is 75 to 95 days. <br />Typically the surface layer is a grayish brown fine sandy loam about 2 inches thick. The <br />subsurface layer is light brownish gray fine sandy loam about 2 inches thick. The subsoil is <br />light brownish gray heavy clay loam about 27 inches thick. The subsoil is calcareous in the <br />lower 7 inches. The substratum is gray heavy clay loam about 30 inches thick. [t is <br />calcareous. The surface layer may be absent. <br />Permeability is stow. The availability water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 <br />inches or more. Surface runoff is rapid, and the erosion hazard is high from wind and water. <br />Most of this mapping unit is native range and used for grazing. Present and potential <br />productivity of this soil is fair. <br /> <br />2.04.9-~ <br />
